Image
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
William Gurnall
Image
Thou hast no life to lose, because thou hast given it already to Christ, nor can man take away that without God's leave.

William Gurnall
Image
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.

The regenerating Spirit is compared to the wind. His first attempts on the soul may be so secret that the creature knows not whence they come, or whither they tend but, before he hath done, the sound will be heard throughout the soul.
William Gurnall
Image
Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?
William Gurnall
Image
For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.
William Gurnall
Image
God would not rub so hard if it were not to fetch out the dirt that is ingrained in our natures. God loves purity so well He had rather see a hole than a spot in His child's garments.
William Gurnall
Image
The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.
William Gurnall
Image
Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
William Gurnall
Image
Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's.
William Gurnall
Image
No torment in the world is comparable to an accusing conscience.
William Gurnall
Image
The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.
